I will help you with your Sony GV-9 tape issue. When faced with a stuck tape, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to help eject it:

1. Make sure the camera is turned off: Switch off the GV-9 and disconnect it from any power sources for safety.

2. Gently apply pressure: Press the eject button or slide the tape release button while slowly and carefully applying pressure to the cassette door. Sometimes, a little extra push is all that's needed.

3. Battery removal: If the above step didn't work, remove the battery pack from your GV-9 and then reattach it. This action sometimes allows the tape mechanism to reset, which can help eject a stubborn tape.

4. Try another power source: Connect your GV-9 to a power outlet using the AC adapter instead of relying on battery power. Sometimes a low battery charge can interfere with the tape ejection process.

5. Slightly elevate the camera: With the camera still turned off, try tilting and gently shaking it from side to side. Sometimes, this gentle motion can help dislodge any obstruction causing the tape to stick.

If none of these steps work, it may be best to contact Sony's customer support or find a professional technician who can diagnose and provide further assistance. They will have specialized knowledge and tools to help resolve the issue.
